Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites
Heres a really simple version of recovering the satellites without having to tune
down your guitar
Capo 1
G F C
|
G C
|
G C
Gonna get back to basics
Guess I'll start it up again
I'm fallin' from the ceiling
You're falling from the sky now and then
Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between
But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Just you and me
G C
Chorus:
D C D C
So why'd you come home to this sleepless town
It's a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is...
when you gonna come down
GC
-
Your mother recognizes all your desperate displays
and she watches as her babies drift violently away
So why'd you come home to this faithless town
Where we make a lifetime commitment
to recovering the satellites
and all anybody really wants to know is...
when are you gonna come down
Bridge: (Guitars 1&2 continue to play G C)
She sees shooting stars and comet tails
She's got heaven in her eyes
She says I don't need to be an angel
But I'm nothing if I'm not this high
We only stay in orbit
For a moment of time
And then you're everybody's satellite
I wish that you were mine
So why'd you come home to this angel's town
Well it's a lifetime's decision
Recovering the satellites
and all anybody really knows for sure is...
that you're gonna come down
